Riffing on the popular pop-up Dîner en Blanc events, the Brandywine in White dinner, first introduced in 2013, returns on Aug. 24 with a new location.

Set-up for the picnic – where participants wear white outfits (yikes! watch that ketchup or red wine) – begins at 5:30 p.m. The "secret" location will be disclosed by email 48 hours before the event. It most likely will be in the Wilmington area.

Well, that's what we're guessing since a portion of the proceeds from the $25-per-person rain-or-shine event will benefit Friends of Wilmington Parks.

Tables, chairs and tablecloths will be provided. Participants bring their own food, drinks, utensils and table decor.

Here's a few things to keep in mind: No cooking is allowed on the site; organizers also suggest you bring trash bags, bug spray and flashlights. This is al fresco, after all. The party ends at 10 p.m.
